2012 Budget Preliminary Forecast Impact Statements
Date:
August 22, 2011
This memo transmits the 2012 budget forecast impact statements. The Office of Budget and Strategic Initiatives provided departments a template to document staffing, service and other impacts resulting from a 2012 preliminary forecast funding level (Attachment A). While most departments used the template, some departments responded in memo form (i.e., Sheriff’s Office) or via email (i.e., Prosecutor’s Office). To summarize the responses, the budget office developed a summary table included in Attachment B identifying departments that noted an impact on staffing and service provision. The Board will shortly receive an updated 2012 revenue and expenditure estimate for the general fund. Departments will be provided a revised budget forecast figure for 2012 with instructions to update their impact statements as necessary in advance of the budget working sessions with the Board on September 12, 14 and 19. I will craft my 2012 recommended budget in consideration of County Commission policy priorities, departmental budget impact statements and presentations as well as the most up-to-date revenue estimates. The administrator’s recommended budget will be released at the beginning of October. Please do not hesitate to contact John P. Bruggen (946-4316) if you have any questions.
